From discount bookshops in York yesterday:
Bury Your Dead by Louise Penny (which I now I realise is part of a series!)
A Hidden Affair by Pam Jenoff
Offshore by Penelope Fitzgerald
The Rise of the Iron Moon by Stephen Hunt (Bk3 in the Court of the Air series, so a good find for me)
Tongues of Serpents by Naomi Novik (Bk6 in the Temeraire series - another good find)
The Vault of Bones by Pip Vaughan-Hughes (another good find as I have the first one on Mt TBR)
I also bought 4 vampire-themed books for my daughter:
Ghost Town & Last Breath by Rachel Caine (Morganville Vampires)- I bought a six book set of them for her at Christmas and she is already on Bk5 so I think we can safely say she enjoys them!
City of Bones & City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare (Mortal Instruments series)

You are brave, or did you find a reasonably priced copy? I got mine from the library.
